Honda has announced that they will be recalling certain models of the 2008 CBR1000RR. They stated that a coolant hose clamp located on the water pump cover may break due to fatigue caused by vibration generated at continuous high engine speeds.
If the clamp breaks, hot coolant can spray onto the riders left lower leg causing scalding to the rider. Dealers will install the new coolant hose clamp free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or before June 6, 2009. Owners may contact Honda at 1-866-784-1870.

As an avid motorcyclist myself I can think of worsen things happening, like the coolant leak happening while you’re doing low flying through the twisties. By the time you discover the problem your engine might well be toast, so go and have this remedied ASAP if you’re a 2008 Fireblade rider.
